> However, a settlement in which Cephalon apparently paid out US$ 200 million to four generic drug manufacturers[51] may mean that generic forms of the drug will become available in April 2012 (October 2011 prior to the six month extension).I read this too - I have been waiting for generic modafinil for years now & thought it was scheduled for 2008.
I don't understand how they can hope to control ALL the little generic drug manufacturers in the world. What's to stop some little factory in Mexico from pumping out the pills. I don't think copy write is a problem there.....
